Not So Normal 5K + Weekend Activities

If you're local to the Triad area and you love to run, you must check out this awesome 5k.

The Not So Normal 5K + Weekend: Carrboro and Chapel Hill Family-Friendly Festivities

The Not So Normal 5K + Weekendis a three-day celebration of community and philanthropy kicking off on September 12th. There is a family-friendly lineup of activities in Carrboro and Chapel Hill culminating with a festive 5K race and outdoor country music concert that Sunday.

They have date nights for parents with babysitting options, pajama parties for kids, and a variety of ways for the community to raise money for local charities while having fun! The best part, unlike other races, 100 percent of proceeds from all 5K registration fees goes directly to nonprofits.

Here is a break down of family-friendly events that will be happening:

The Not So Normal 5K race…well, not quite 5K. We shortened to 2.95 miles to make it flatter and a little easier. Why? Because it’s not so normal! Active families will run or walk this fun run, and strollers are welcome on the course. Registration is just $25 and all proceeds go directly to charity. Participants are also asked to bring one book for Book Harvest and/or two canned goods for local food distribution organizations, TABLE and PORCH.

Kids' races, obstacles, face painting and tons of family-fun activities. Children 8 and under are free!

The Not So Normal 5K + Weekend, presented by Mom in Chapel Hill, celebrates community with a little music and exercise thrown in! It was created by stay-at-home dad, Jay Radford. It’s anything but average! A full weekend of fundraising for local nonprofits, enjoying time in your community and great 5k.
